If one fasts in a country where the fast began late, then travels to his home country, does he fast on the day of Eid because he has not completed his fast with the first country, or does he break his fast and then make it up?

The questioner : Regarding the first case, which is in Ramadan, for one who goes to a country where the fast started earlier, the meaning of this is that if he continues with them—with this later country—he may have fasted on the day of Eid in the country where he began his fast. Does this have any effect?
The Shaykh : This has no effect, because the criterion is the place where the obligation to break the fast falls due.
The questioner : So the criterion is the Eid in the same place where he is?
The Shaykh : Yes, in the same place where he is.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And for this reason, we said that if one arrives from a later country, he breaks his fast with them.
The questioner : And he makes up...
The Shaykh : And he makes up what he missed, yes.
The questioner : Yes, the second question asks about the Islamic ruling on keeping children's toys...
The Shaykh : And if you wish, consider a parallel to this.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : So consider it by the day. If, for example, a person travels from an eastern region to a western region while fasting, and he abstained from food in the eastern region, the meaning of that is that the hours of the day will be added to his fast.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And the reverse is the reverse.
The Shaykh : This has no effect, because the criterion is the place where the obligation to break the fast falls due.
The questioner : So the criterion is the Eid in the same place where he is?
The Shaykh : Yes, in the same place where he is.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And for this reason, we said that if one arrives from a later country, he breaks his fast with them.
